Computer Science – LSA Capstone on an MDP Project

Computer Science students participating on pre-approved MDP sponsored projects are eligible to earn Capstone credit.

Requirements:
(1)  Project must be CS-related and pre-approved by CS-LSA Chief Program Advisor (click here to see all projects pre-approved for CS Capstone).

(2)  Students must have completed EECS 281 prior to the start of their MDP project. This means students may be currently enrolled in EECS 281 the fall they are applying to MDP, and will still be eligible for the CS-specific roles on MDP projects.

(3)  Both semesters of MDP must be successfully completed to receive Capstone credit.
